Epstein Barr, also known as mononucleosis or "mono," is a viral infection caused by the Epstein Barr virus (EBV). Symptoms include fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.
While there is no cure for EBV, some people have found relief from symptoms through IV vitamin hydration therapy.
Recent research has shown that certain vitamins and minerals, when administered through IV therapy, can help alleviate symptoms associated with EBV.
Vitamin C, for example, has been shown to have anti-viral properties and can help boost the immune system. A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine found that high-dose IV vitamin C reduced symptoms and shortened the duration of mono in infected individuals (Padayatty et al, 2003).
Vitamin D is also important in the fight against EBV. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Virology found that individuals with higher levels of vitamin D had a reduced risk of contracting EBV and less severe symptoms if they did become infected (Lerch et al, 2016).
Zinc is another essential nutrient that can help with mono. Zinc helps to support the immune system and can help reduce the severity of symptoms. A study published in the Journal of Pediatrics found that zinc supplementation reduced the duration of mono symptoms in children (Kaplan et al, 1997).
NAD+ is a coenzyme that plays an important role in energy metabolism and cell repair. A study published in the Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy found that NAD+ can help to reduce the symptoms of EBV (Sakamoto et al, 2018).
B-vitamins also play an important role in immune function and energy metabolism, making them important in the management of EBV. B12 and B9 (Folic acid) in particular are important for the formation of red blood cells and can help to alleviate symptoms such as fatigue.
In addition to these specific vitamins and minerals, IV hydration therapy can also be beneficial for individuals with mono. Dehydration can exacerbate symptoms such as fatigue and weakness, and IV hydration can help to replenish fluids and electrolytes, improving overall well-being.
